Sony has the eBookstore where people can purchase eBooks they can read.

Sure they can go to Gutenburg to get some eBooks. But, the majority of people want to read bestsellers or romance novels. The multiformat eBooks from Fictionwise are mostly from authors they will never have heard of. If you take a look at a lot of the top sellers it's romance sold to housewives. Most of them won't know about stripping DRM. They'll know they can purchase the eBooks and read them.

So without the ability to purchase current eBooks with DRM, I would say to stay well away from the Jetbook. The fact is, that for most people it is not a good fit at all.
